Subject: ACPICA: acpi_get_sleep_type_data: Reduce warnings

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>

commit a59b679ab85635737947310323f2f2bcfa0664a7 upstream.

ACPICA commit 7bb77313091e52a846df4c9c2bea90be31bfb9d8

Eliminate warnings for "not found" _Sx errors, since these
are optional. Original NOT_FOUND status is still returned.

Original changes by Prarit Bhargava.
ACPICA BZ 1208.
